$500–$4,000. Common prints: $500–$1,500. Key value factors: Ono's socially conscious prints and urban scenes are valued for both artistic quality and historical interest.
Ono made several prints of harbor subjects during his travels along the Black Sea coast, drawn to the drama of vessels against water and the industrial geometry of port facilities. This view of a Black Sea harbor renders the relationship between boats, water, and sky with the bold tonal contrasts and simplified forms that characterize his mature work. It belongs to a group of Showa-period prints that document his engagement with the broader Soviet world during a period of cultural exchange.
